Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Caring and Competent
I feel very satisfied with my care and I know that Dr. John genuinely wants the best for my health. He is thorough when evaluating my problems and I trust his medical decisions. I also appreciate his focus on identifying and reducing my cardiac risks. He answers my questions and I never feel rushed. I am very thankful that he has been my provider for more than 20 years.

Love my doctor!
Extremely thorough and competent. Often teaches medical students and young doctors. He seems to be able to diagnose and treat almost everything. One stop shop!

Dr Okerblom is one of the BEST doctors I’ve ever had, so it’s very unfortunate that his staff is so rude and disrespectful! They NEVER call you back and if they do are extremely rude about it! God forbid if you have urgency or need a refill to be called in! Dr okerblom is THE Best, just don’t know how much longer I can handle dealing with his staff??

It's unfortunate that some of his back office staff is incompetent to call back or get the facts right when calling you back.. I self diagnosed myself and demanded to be referred to a surgeon after 1 year of complaining of pain. I have nothing to say now about his front staff. they are amazing and gets things done. But with no call back from back office and been waiting for a refill on meds that I'm not supposed to discontinue use. I'm done!
